I already guessed which application: KDETorrent.
What I’m trying to understand is why updating NoMachine caused that log to suddenly jump from a few M over a period of months to over a G in a single day.
Cheers.
Answering my own post.
Setting the node.cfg setting “ClientLog 0” stops the file being created. Although I would be interested in why the amount of data captured suddenly skyrocketed.
With regard to the clean-up of the directories. All the ones there appear to be left overs when either I’ve had to kill a session, or in the last couple of days, when things all went haywire because of the filesystem filling up.
Cheers.
My environment is described here https://forums.nomachine.com/topic/still-cannot-find-default-environment-after-tr09n07188-fix
Cheers.
Actually I hadn’t killed anything yesterday, when I reported this, so connecting again, it’s still in the same “no input” state.
Tried mashing every single key on the keyboard multiple times. No effect.
Cheers.
OK, will do.
Although I wouldn’t have thought that would have caused all keyboard and mouse actions to be blocked. I would have unexpected “strange” results.
Cheers.
Maybe not a NoMachine bug per se, but something changed between releases.
That looks like it fixed it. Thanks.
Cheers.
Hmmm. I got an e-mail informing me of my own update to this post. But not one for yours above.
I also got an e-mail for a reply to my other post.
Cheers.
Yep, changing the DefaultDesktopCommand worked. Plus I could back out the change I made for AR09L00814 and it still works.
Thanks.
Cheers.
OK, that seems to work. Thank you.
Cheers.
BTW It was pure chance I spotted this update, as I didn’t get an e-mail, despite having the “Notify me” box ticked. Now on to reporting the issue I have with an ARM installation. 🙂
Looking at the traces I pulled from /etc/NX/nxserver and /etc/NX/nxnode, to me it looks like these are both called without the underlying PATH from root being propagating through. Aren’t these both called before startkde is invoked, which is the reason for the initial “Cannot find default environment” issue.
Cheers.
Another update.
Looking through some of the scripts that are executed at NX start-up, that manipulate PATH, I found: /etc/NX/etc/nxserver. Turning on debug for this script, I see the following where it checks the current setting of PATH:
+ test x = x
+ export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
Which could explain why later in the process I see this error, as mentioned above:
/usr/bin/startkde: line 25: qtpaths: command not found
But not why /usr/bin/startkde is not found. Strange.
Cheers.
OK, one more step along this time, so beginning to make progress.
On trying to connect, I got the “User connected” pop-up instead of the previous error, but then instead of the KDE start-up splash I just got a black screen with a simple, white, pop-up window that said: “Could not start D-Bus. Can you call qdbus?”.
Stopped NX, updated /usr/bin/startkde, cleared the old logs, and started NX. Reproduced issue and collected server logs. Attached.
This line in one of the node logs caught my eye: /usr/bin/startkde: line 25: qtpaths: command not found
So, it looks like the $PATH from the environment is not making it into the NX start.
I updated that line in /usr/bin/startkde to have the full path for qtpaths, and tried again. This time, no pop-up, but again no KDE splash screen and just a black background. I didn’t bother capturing the logs for this, as I’m sure it’s just going to show the same type of “command not found” error, but just later in the process.
Cheers.
